Empire

Chapter 6

Camila

I shuffled through some of the files I had been designated to sort as I sat quietly outside the entrance of Lauren's office, she had been in there all morning with various people talking about things I failed to understand... that bitch is SMART

Last night was... intense and it felt like for a moment she was herself.. I can't say that for sure because I hardly even know her but she just seemed relaxed and genuine like she wasn't putting on this big ballsy act that she normally did...

As I focused in on what I was doing I couldn't help but see a large man walking through to speak to The girl, his voice was deep and loud impossible for me to ignore as he began to speak, I couldn't make out much but I had perfect view of the girl stood facing him, she had a bad face on her, pissed off almost as he point his finger rudely in her face

This went on for a few moments before he slammed a folder harshly into her chest causing her body to fall backwards slightly before he stormed out past me

I lifted myself and the folders from the floor and head in placing them on the desk in front of her, she didn't even look up at me as her perfect fingers pulled the file into her chest to read, she looked extra beautiful today? Her hair was pin straight and folded neatly over her shoulder as her full chest was on display covered only by a black bra and expensive suit jacket

"Perfect, can you take these down to HR"

I grabbed the file back still anticipating her eyes to look up at me but they didn't, maybe she was upset about that guy? Or angry? I couldn't tell!

"Who was he?"

"That, was my dad"

She replied bluntly still looking down into the desk at heavy mounds of paperwork with complex equations and notes on, all stuff I really didn't understand ...

"He was really rude? Did he hurt you?"

Her eyes finally dart up into my direction, they weren't the same as yesterday.. they were cold and icy ...

"You really shouldn't be listening to other people's conversations"

She spat

"I Uh... I didn't mean to I-"

"Can you just go and do what I've asked you to do?"

She shot back, her tone of voice almost hurt as it echoed around my head, I took the file and head downstairs wondering what or if I had done wrong... did I say something last night?

"Oh my god I'm so sorry!"

As I walked along the floor down deep in thought I found myself accidentally bumping into a timid girl just as apologetic as she helped me pick up the dropped papers from my hands

"No no! It was my fault! I'm sor- these are Miss Jauregui's papers? Oh god!"

As soon as she'd realised who they belonged too she began quickly picking the remaining files up neatly placing them into my hands as if petrified to even crease a corner

"Are you ok?"

I laughed nervously looking up at her worried face

"Yeah! I just don't want to damage any of her things.. you know what she's like, Camila right?"

"Yeah? That's right, what's your name?"

She was a sweet looking girl, same height as me but slightly better dressed
